Return to sport after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: epidemiology and prognostic factors in a Swiss multicentre cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate patients' sports activities prior to and after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) and to better understand the relationship between patient, injury and sport-specific factors and return to sport (RTS) after ARCR.

Methods

As a part of the ARCR_Pred multicentre cohort study, patients from 19 centres undergoing primary ARCR for partial or complete rotator cuff tears between June 2020 and November 2021 were prospectively enrolled. Only patients who participated in sports prior to the injury were included. Injury characteristics, sports activity, sociodemographic, psychological and rehabilitation-specific factors, including the ability to return to any sport, were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 weeks, 6, 12 and 24 months.
